For Nerva

[arlathvhen]

After the Templar didn't pursue her from the roof, Beleth was still on edge for a bit. She stayed away from any high-traffic areas, sticking to little corners and places that were hard to reach. After a while, she began to relax. Maybe she was overthinking it. Maybe she'd been too fast for Nerva to see who it was. If she had missed the tattoos, it could be any elf in Skyhold, right? Right???

It's not that she thinks that the Templars would actually hurt her. She's pretty sure they weren't allowed to do that. But fear of Templars was ingrained into her, and while she had mostly overcome the basic instinct, the idea of one coming after her was...worrying. And far more worrying, putting aside something that was basically a baseless fear, was the much more reasonable fear that she could be reprimanded by the Inquisition. But nothing happened.

She eventually slinks off to go sleep in one of the broken down rooms in the battlements, feeling a bit smug over all of it. She can think of a handful of people who will be very pleased to hear what she heard, and impressed at her dashing escape from the clutches of the Templars.

She drifts off to sleep, only to be woken with an indignant squawk by a hand grabbing for her.

Afterwards

On the whole, getting stuck cleaning stables isn't the worst that could happen, and the warning of getting put in the dungeons is enough to get her to at least make the attempt. It's embarrassing, more than anything. It's not even the work, though she knows that it was given with the intention of being demeaning. And it's that, that is the problem. That she got caught, that she was given work, that she was purposely given something demeaning by a human who held no real authority over her.

It chafes her Dalish pride. But she does it anyway.

She does the wild hart's stall first, and spends a great deal of time in the stall, hanging out with the hart, grooming him and grumbling to him about how entirely unfair life is.

However, the second anyone starts coming into the stable, she grabs a pitchfork, and starts to busy herself. She was totally working, what are you talking about.

Sina is at the healing tents today, and from afar she can see the unusual sight of Beleth doing... stable work? When it makes sense to take a break, she grabs her lunch and carries it over to the barn, where she leans on the half-wall of a stall and peers over at her fellow Dalish.
"Beleth?" she says amiably, "what are you doing?"
